Grow diary/photorelation

[pleaseforgive]

Stay with me. No photos from the past, because of mods divine intervention..
Here's four quickies from now, hopefully I'll be able to provide more as time goes by... How much time till harvest, how y'all think?

Typical plant, seed from weed, popped quickly, seeds were already ready on day after. Been standing near window, no lamps through most of veg(thats why it got stretched upward little bit too much, no additional nothing in styrofoam cup and then i moved it to 5.5cm 5.5cm x 10cm little pot when I seen first pistils and placed it under LED full spectrum pinky light 50W, now it's been there for 2 weeks and pistils kept showing up, I moved it to larger pot TODAY (finally) [and watered with canna terra flower normal dosage] , like 2 - 2.5 L pot,, probably big difference from the little 5x5x10 cubic pot that I had to water very often, to the 14 cm diameter 13 cm height pot. let's see how it continues, 50 W LED light build myself from CPU radiator and a fan and some cooling paste and a Chinese COB LED chip.. wondering if i should and where to buy fan with carbon filter to keep the circulation and heat circulation properly..
On Vegetative stage I fed it very little with some "Biohomus" thing it's based on californian earthworms mix. After I seen pistils come up I started to put it in darkness for longer periods than 12h actually 9/15 period, started adding canna terra flower to the water, and when pistils were growing I added pk 13/14, could be that I used it too early, heard it should be used only week6 of flowering or when the buds/flowers are forming.. hope it didn't damage or stress it too much.. as always, hints are welcome, is everything going properly? I know I could start it better but let's call it a mini one and finish building the place for next attempts..
from the grow shaping I'd say it was sativa but it smells like cheese or somethin skunky, so probably more indica side... but who knows nowadays..
good smoke or no? ;] please drop a guess from your experience which week of flowering it is..

Your plants have a pretty color friend. If you could give more wattage you would get more yield. Still, way too early, you have at least 30 days or more. Looking good, keep us posted. Thanks for sharing your garden with us.

First day after transplantation into bigger pot, day time, 9 hours of light, 15 hours of darkness. Light is 50W, should I move plant little bit closer to the light source or should be fine as it is?

 

[pleaseforgive]

Few questions from beginner, at this stage should I water only roots or can i spray little bit of clean water on the pistils and flowers location or leave them completely dry?
Second question, temperatures, day time 27-25 C, night time its mostly above 20 C sometimes drops to 18 when I let some fresh air in, but only when light is off, otherwise it's stable near 25-26C. heard colder nights might help some strains turn more purple also more recin production, truth?
9 hours of light and 15 of darkness, afraid to change it now because plant might reverse it's flowering???
does the plant need 24/7 fan blowing at it or it will do good normal air circulation?

Hello friend, I would keep the water off the leaves or flowers and only water the soil. As far as a fan goes I would have it set on a timer to come on often but not stay on all the time or in darkness. My fan turns on with the lights and runs with the light to maintain transpiration and during darkness, it comes on for 30 minutes at a time every few hours. You can keep a 12/12 photoperiod without restarting a new veg. 9 hours may not be enough light time. Good luck and keep us posted.

Added 1 hour of day time on my

thing
now its going to be 10 hour long day / 14 hour long night.. by weekend I will get it to 11/13 I guess..

 

[pleaseforgive]

Update from last night

and today's daytime:

looks happier now =]

 

[pleaseforgive]

Post with image for previous post /do not delete

 

[pleaseforgive]

Update of our no-name , any names you would like to give her?

 

[pleaseforgive]

Switched to 11 hour long day and 13 hour long night today.

 

[pleaseforgive]

Next update at it's night

P.S. I can't lie, it starts to look promising.. or atleast.. nug-like
When do I use PK 13/14? Next watering? in a week? two weeks from now? Now i'm using water that stands 24h and I add some canna terra flower ~recommended dosage and nothing else. w8 till I upload normal lighting photo so you can tell me your opinion.

 

[pleaseforgive]

Night time update as promised, goodnight everyone, the girl went to sleep aswell =]
She's getting frosty!

 

[pleaseforgive]

Any good ways to build carbon filter on your own? Just some active carbon and few filters from cooker hood would make the work hm?

 

[aCBD]

In short: I think selfmade carbon filter are insufficient and effective like a standard air-cleaner.

Think about the future.

The plant is healthy so you're doing something right.
Guess this won't be the last plant you're growing and if you plan to grow more rounds, you should consider a real carbon filter and exhaust fan. If you can't hang it you can also just place it on the floor Spider Farmer and Mars Hydro offer cheap and small sized exhaust kits with builtin controller.
After harvest you may get a tent or a better light on xmas sale and seeds are cheap...
Stretching the expenses over some months and your next grow will be a step up.
Seriously, after your first harvest you'll think "Why did i wait so long with growing"
Just throwing in ideas, happy growing!

 

[pleaseforgive]

thanks for your time and reply.
I mean I didn't want to overpay for tube with some carbon and few layers of other cheap materials.. in fact when you build your own you could make it more compact and not look like a regular carbon filter that everyone would recognize at first sight if you know what I mean.. of course if I build it I will make sure it has the right materials and properties and test it with my own nose.. just gave a thought or maybe someone already tried? I like being independent and base on my own skills/stuff
For now I'm sticking to this 35x45x130 box I'd say, as I counted I would need less than 60 m^3/h of air exchange, so I could use really small fan with self-built filter, I guess they are not making this sizes for commercials..

 

[pleaseforgive]

And a little update as we speak

There is this https://www.icmag.com/threads/air-scrubber-for-microgrowing-an-idea-that-works.339507/

I get what you mean but isn't a plant just as suspicious as a filter and fan?
The benefit of a tent is the high reflection and being able to control the environment a lot better but it's situational. Whatever works for you and you like how it is, why change it.
There is room for improvement and you can have bigger harvests, is what im trying to say.

I'm sure if you wanna build a diy scrubber, you can do it.
There is definitely a lot of overpriced growing equipment out there which a handyman can build for much less.
Still, some necessary things are worth the investment at a certain growing size.

Yeah, that was next question I was about to ask, is c-99 good enough reflection material to put in the box? should I expect temperature raise after foiling walls of the box?

Lady is about to wake up, so she wanted to say have a nice day to all of You.

Some nice looking young flowers you have there.

I would buy yoursef a carbon filter and small fan. I reckon trying to make it out of cooking hood carbon filters will end up not working as well and costing almost as much.
